ODK — Mobile Data Collection
ODK (Open Data Kit) is the open-source standard for mobile data collection, used by over 2 million people worldwide to send more than 250 million form submissions annually. It is widely deployed in public health, environmental research, agricultural studies, household surveys, and crisis response.
RITS hosts an ODK Central instance available to WUR researchers. Fill in the intake form below to get started. We will set up a dedicated ODK project for your research and guide you through the first steps. The RITS team will review your request and get back to you within 2 business days.
